-We will call Outlook as OL in this document.
-The PIM programs are KAdddressbook and KOrganizer, which may be used embedded in the Kontact PIM management framework.
-This HowTo describes version 1.9.5b of the migration tools.
-The migration tools are the platform independent versions of KAdddressbook and KOrganizer: KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
-If you want to migrate emails, you can do that via an IMAP server.
-A Kolab server is an IMAP server.
-A HowTo how to migrate emails and contact and calendar data to a Kolab server using the Toltec (TM) Outlook(TM) plugin is available as well.

-APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data
-
-****************************************
-1) How to start
-****************************************
-
-For the migration we need the actual Outlook 200X data, which Outlook stores in *.pst files.
-Then we need an installed version of Outlook 200X to access these *.pst files.
-When we have an Outllook 200X running with all data accessable, we need the migration tools.
-
-If you have no Outlook200X installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files.
-If you have an Outlook200X installed with no contact/calendar data available, and you have some *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook.
-If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available, please continue with: 3) Where to get the migration tools.
-
-
-****************************************
-2) How to import pst files in Outlook
-****************************************
-
-To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu:
-File - Open - Outlook Data File ...
-Now the data included in this file is shown
-as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view.
-This root folder is probably not accessable from
-the migration tools via OLE.
-To access data stored in one of the subfolders,
-copy this subfolder to a root folder,
-which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE.
-(To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until
-you get the Oulook import dialog!)
-
-To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose
-Copy "<subfoldername>"...
-in the popup menu.
-
-****************************************
-3) Where to get the migration tools
-****************************************
-
-The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
-Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA.
-Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi.
-
-The programs you need for the migration are:
-a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons
-b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons
-c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll
-You can download all of them at:
-
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/
-
-Download of a) and b)
-Please choose there package/project with name KDE/Pim
-(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 )
-Choose there the topmost latest version and the files
-kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
-Such that the files to download is
-kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
-
-To download c)
-Please choose there package/project/file:
-general Files for KDE/Pim
-Needed Windows Dlls
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-(Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=122438&release_id=256700 )
-Choose there the file:
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-Now you have downloaded the files
-
-kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-and we can continue to install the files, which is simply unzipping them.
-
-
-****************************************
-4) How to install the migration tools
-****************************************
-
-You have downloaded the files
-
-kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip
-kdepimdll.zip
-
-Unzip these files.
-Now choose an arbitrary installation directory, where to copy all the needed files together.
-You should have now the following files and the directory "kdepim" in the same directory:
-kopi.exe
-kapi.exe
-microkabc_dir.dll
-microkabc_file.dll
-msvcr71.dll
-mfc71u.dll
-qt-mt331.dll
-ReadMich.txt
-kdepim (directory)
-
-The directory "kdepim" should contain subdirectories
-kaddressbook
-korganizer
-which itself contain some subdirectories with icons and help text.
-
-Now the migration tools are ready for use.
-
-
-NOTE AND HINT for performing migration on many workstations:
-Just burn the content of the installation dir on a CD.
-Then you can put the CD in every workstation and execute the migration tools from that CD directly.
-
-

-*************************************************************
-APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data
-*************************************************************
-
-All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook.
-
-1) Addresses
-
-In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses.
-This address shows up in KAddressbook twice.
-The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ).
-The second time with the attribute "postal".
-
-2) Telephone Numbers
-
-All telephone numbers of OL are imported.
-OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook.
-In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook.
-Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA:
-
-OL type Attributes in KA
-
-Assistant Work + Voice
-Business Work
-Business2 Work
-BusinessFax Work + Fax
-Car Car
-Home Home
-Home2 Home
-HomeFax Home + Fax
-ISDN Isdn
-Mobile Cell (displayed as Mobile Phone)
-OtherFax Fax
-OtherTelephone Voice
-Pager Pager
-PrimaryTelephone Pref ( displayed as typeless, with attribute preferred )
-TTYTDD Modem
-Telex Fax + Bbs (Bbs displayed as MailBox - not very senseful, sorry ...)
-CompanyMain Work + Pref
-Radio Video
-Callback Voice + Pref
-
-Some mapping may not be very senseful, but it helps to identify the original OL types.
-
-3) Additional fields
-
-For some contact fields in Outlook there is no corresponding field in KAddressbook.
-The following contact fields are imported to KAddressbook and the field name and content is
-prepended the notes information of the contact item in the notes field.
-The following fields of Outlook are mapped to the notes field:
-Language, Hobby, Homepage, Billing information, Customer ID, User1, User2, User3, User4
-
-Example:
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Additonal fields created
-by KA/Pi Outlook import:
-Language: Swedish
-Hobby: Golf,fishing
-End additonal fields created
-by KA/Pi Outlook import!
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-<Below that are your notes of this contact>
-
-
-*************************************************************
-APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data
-*************************************************************
-
-Almost all data, which can be displayed and accessed in KOrganizer is imported from Outlook.
-Attachments of appointments are not imported.
-KOrganizer may crash, when reading some kinds of attachments.
-These may be changed in future versions.
-
-Attendee lists of meetings and their state are imported in KOrganizer.
-
-A problem is importing some kinds of recurring events:
-
-First problem:
-OL offers a recurrence like
-- Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July.
-KOrganizer ( in versions < 3.3.0 ) does not offer that kind of recurrence.
-Such that
-"Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July."
-is converted to
-"Monthly recurrence, every 12. month, second Tuesday in month, StartMonth = July."
-which can be edited in KO.
-
-Second problem:
-OL offers an exception in a recurrence with other data/time.
-KO offers only an exception in a recurrence , where the exception is deleted from the row of all occurences.
-Such that
-"Recurring event with exception, that date XX should be at date YY"
-in OL is converted to two events in KO:
-"Recurring event with exception, that date XX is not included"
-"Non-recurring event at date YY with same data like the recurring event (e.g. Summary, location, attendee list, ...)"

+After importing, KO/Pi shows a dialog, how much calendar items are imported.
+If you press a second time "import" , already imported calendar items are not imported again.
+After importing you can choose another "Calendar Folder" to import or close the import dialog.
+Please close the import dialog.
+Now you see the imported calendar items in KO/Pi.
+Please verify, that the import was correct.
+About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KOrganizer-data-fields see Appendix B).
+Close KO/Pi - data will be saved automatically.
+
+Now you should have the calendar data in the file mycalendar.ics in your home directory in the path
+(YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\korganizer\mycalendar.ics
+
+Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination.
+Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact.
+Details about importing your calendar data you can read at: 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact.
+(Warning again: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET).
+Now you have your Outlook200X calendar data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration.
+
+Hint:
+If you want to use KO/Pi and KA/Pi on your windows desktop, you should read all the help information available in the KO/Pi Help menu. One Highlight of KO/Pi is the easy syncing with another *.ics file.
+(Information about syncing available in the KO/Pi help menu).
+Another hint:
+KO/Pi + KA/Pi ( = KDE-Pim/Pi ) are available for the Sharp Zaurus PDA.
+Syncing data works for KO/Pi ( version 1.9.3) but not yet for KA/Pi.

+APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data
+*************************************************************
+
+All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook.
+
+1) Addresses
+
+In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses.
+This address shows up in KAddressbook twice.
+The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ).
+The second time with the attribute "postal".
+
+2) Telephone Numbers
+
+All telephone numbers of OL are imported.
+OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook.
+In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook.
+Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA:
+
+OL type Attributes in KA
+
+Assistant Work + Voice
+Business Work
+Business2 Work
+BusinessFax Work + Fax
+Car Car
+Home Home
+Home2 Home
+HomeFax Home + Fax
+ISDN Isdn
+Mobile Cell (displayed as Mobile Phone)
+OtherFax Fax
+OtherTelephone Voice
+Pager Pager
+PrimaryTelephone Pref ( displayed as typeless, with attribute preferred )
+TTYTDD Modem
+Telex Fax + Bbs (Bbs displayed as MailBox - not very senseful, sorry ...)
+CompanyMain Work + Pref
+Radio Video
+Callback Voice + Pref
+
+Some mapping may not be very senseful, but it helps to identify the original OL types.
+
+3) Additional fields
+
+For some contact fields in Outlook there is no corresponding field in KAddressbook.
+The following contact fields are imported to KAddressbook and the field name and content is
+prepended the notes information of the contact item in the notes field.
+The following fields of Outlook are mapped to the notes field:
+Language, Hobby, Homepage, Billing information, Customer ID, User1, User2, User3, User4
+
+Example:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Additonal fields created
+by KA/Pi Outlook import:
+Language: Swedish
+Hobby: Golf,fishing
+End additonal fields created
+by KA/Pi Outlook import!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+<Below that are your notes of this contact>

+APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data
+*************************************************************
+
+Almost all data, which can be displayed and accessed in KOrganizer is imported from Outlook.
+Attachments of appointments are not imported.
+KOrganizer may crash, when reading some kinds of attachments.
+These may be changed in future versions.
+
+Attendee lists of meetings and their state are imported in KOrganizer.
+
+A problem is importing some kinds of recurring events:
+
+First problem:
+OL offers a recurrence like
+- Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July.
+KOrganizer ( in versions < 3.3.0 ) does not offer that kind of recurrence.
+Such that
+"Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July."
+is converted to
+"Monthly recurrence, every 12. month, second Tuesday in month, StartMonth = July."
+which can be edited in KO.
+
+Second problem:
+OL offers an exception in a recurrence with other data/time.
+KO offers only an exception in a recurrence , where the exception is deleted from the row of all occurences.
+Such that
+"Recurring event with exception, that date XX should be at date YY"
+in OL is converted to two events in KO:
+"Recurring event with exception, that date XX is not included"
+"Non-recurring event at date YY with same data like the recurring event (e.g. Summary, location, attendee list, ...)"
+
